Can't send most emails these days!

[Testosterone boy]

Keep getting prompted for my Microsoft Passport password. I am not aware of having such a thing.

My searches have found no evidence of Microsoft Passport exisiting on this computer. In fact, I do not recall ever using the program.

Anyone know what is up with this?

This bites.

Sending and receiving emails is one good reason to put up with digital problems....which dominate my life!

what operating system do you have?
If you have Winxp then put your mouse over the start tab. At the top of the menu is there a msn there?
that is most likely what it is. You for some reason have it set so that msn is your default mail program

If you do have WinXP go to control panel, then to internet options then click the tab that says programs, then there will be options such as
hmtl editor
email
newsgroup
etc
Check out the email sec, if it is set to Win live login Change it. that should help. Mine is set to microsoft office outlook and I use IE7 or firefox and I can use what ever e mail program I want

I had the same thing happen with microsoft money. It is adware or a virus. Never did figure it out.

Angel did not google any thing. I had a virus a long while ago and my comp was all messed up so I had to use this program :adaware SE" to remove it.

I do Adaware etc. Spysweeper scans and virus scans quite often.

Does not help.

I have searched for this Passport program....does not exist on my program. Sucks I think.

I just changed it from Hotmail (MSN) to Outlook Express. Hope that helps.

I use to use MSN until a few weeks ago. Changed to cable. Disappointed so far. Should be much, much faster. Cable touts 4 MBs around here.
